i have a 9in lift on my 97 and i want to downsize what will i have to do besides just geting a smaller lift kit? i dont have the stock parts before the lift and the steering on my lift kit is different than stock. any info would be much apreciated.

you probaly have a front shackle lift kit. You can take that off. depending on what one you have it will drop the truck 5" to 3". And if you have blocks in the back, you could take them out or swap them for smaller ones

ok well its i believe a superlift and it also has like 3in body lift so i might go with a 4in suspension lift/its blocks and add a leaf in the back and i think new springs in the front. i dont think it has the rite pitman arm on there anyways looks a little short. which do you think would be the simplest and most effective a new 4in lift or take the blocks out the back and new sprigns on the front?:dunno: like i said im a little worried about the steering i will try to take some pics and post them up in a littlewhile.
